Time Limit Set For NYA Report Filing
Eleven o’clock this morning is the deadline for NYA time reports announces Dr. Frank C. Touton, director of the university N. Y.A. Five reports, covering the report periods from December 20 to January 19, are to be filled out carefully, approved by the project director, and filed before 11 o’clock in the Administration building at the information office.
“Students who have not worked during one or more of the report periods should nevertheless submit such a statement, indicating that no hours were worked during each such period,” Dr. Touton said.
Dr. Touton makes a final request that all reports be filed on time, as promptness in filing reports will aid in the earlier completion of pay rolls and result in an earlier receipt of checks by NYA students.

President Weathers Storm
* * * * * * * * * * * * Dedicates New Memorial to ‘TR’ * * + * * * * * +*** Many Other Roosevelts There
NEW YORK, Jan. 19—(UJ?)—President Roosevelt today braved New York’s worst storm of the winter to pay honor to another Roosevelt— “T. R.”—whose social and political reforms he pointed to as a “spirit of vital activity.”
Th? chief executive in dedicating the Theodore Roosevent Memorial building on the grounds of the American Museum of Natural History, fulfilled the primary objective of a trip that took him yesterday from a white house desk piled high with work. Standing on a platform in the lofty hall ol the memorial, on the walls of which were murals symbolizing the adventurous life of the late president, Mr. Roosevelt observed:
“We will remember how those whom he denounced with righteous wrath winced under the stigma of such flashing epithets as malefactors of great wealth,’ ‘the wealthy criminal class,’ and the ‘lunatic fringe.’
“He had a gift for the pungent phrase and boiled down his whole political philosophy into such a homely and popular maxim as ‘speak softly but carry a big stick’.”
On the platform as Mr. Rcosevelt spoke Were any number of Roosevelts. Alice Roosevelt Longworth
was present with her brother, young “Teddy.” Mrs. Roosevelt, wife of the president, and a niece of T. R., also was on hand, as well as James, son of the president.
The president’s entire speech was a eulogy of his distant kinsman. Recalling the vigorous reform movements of the latter, he remarked:
“With clearness of vision, of energy of unfaltering faith, he labored through his entire strenuous career to transform politics from a corrupt traffic to a public service.
“With a very passion for justice and equality before the law he sought with voice and pen, with every resource at his command to obtain for men everywhere their constitutional guarantees of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia, unlike the president, made a ringing political speech when his turn came to speak. Citing the political liberalism of T. R., he recalled recent sweeping supreme court decisions as he declared:
“He would not permit the senate to become a court of justice; he would not permit the court to transform itself into a legislative body. He knew what was judicial and he knew what was legislative.”

Inquiry Rests As Democrats Resent Action
J. P. Morgan and Partners Cancel Appointments For Future Plans
Results Depend on Senate
Chairman Nye Flays Critics Who Conceal Virtues Of Investigation
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—(ILB)— Embroiled in a fierce struggle with angry Democrats over charges that blackened the memory of Woodrow Wilson, the senate munitions committee* suspended temporarily ita two-year inquiry into the arms industry.
Word was sent to J. Pierpont Morgan, international banker, and two of his partners, George Whitney and Thomas W. Lamont, canceling their scheduled reappearance before the committee Thursday. Chairman Gerald P. Nye, Republican, North Dakota, said his group would meet Wednesday to make future plans.
Senate Holds Fate
The fate of the much-heralded inquiry lies with the senate. The committee still holds less than $400 of the $125,000 given it by the senate and thousands of dollars ta salaries and miscellaneous expenses remain unpaid. Meanwhile, Democrats, Infuriated by Nye’s charge that Wilson “falsified” before the senate foreign relations committee in 1919. are determined not to award the committee another penny. Attacks Smoke Screen
In a formal statement Nye hit back at critics of the investigation, charging them with attempting to build up a “smoke screen” to cover a general attack on the constructive work and remedial legislative proposals of the committee.
Nye asserted the committee had offered constructive proposals ta two bills, one to take excess profits cut of naval shipbuilding and one to prevent collusion on warship contracts, which have been pending before the senate naval affairs committee since last summer.
“Do you expect to get lt?” he was asked.
“I don’t know,” Nye replied. “There seems to be some sentiment against it.” •
If additional funds are denied the committee, one official said at least two courses he open to it to get its information before the public.
1. Make the documents available to newspapermen.
2. Have them read on the senate floor and thus make them a pare of the Congressional Record.

“County Gardens.’’ one of his famous Morris tunes. Nearly all of these tunes, he explained are instrumental arrangements of well-known vocal numbers, “County Gardens” being based on the melody of the “Vicar of Bray.” Other selections to thrill his audience included: “In Dead of Night,” a German folk song by Brahms and “A Minor Prelude” by Bach arranged by Lizst.
Paying high tribute to John Smallman. director of the A Cappella choir, Grainger explained that his great talent as a choral director lay in his ability to secure not only oeauty of sound, but to combine with that “the greatest orgtaallty” and get enough variety of vocal sound to constitute beautiful tone color.
“I consider Smallman in a class entirely by himself. He Is the greatest choral director in the world,” Grainger said.
Finally, pleading that he was extremely busy arranging programs, Grainger was permitted to depart without his tea. incidentally, leaving behind an admiring throng of S.

Study of Journalism and German Affairs To Be Made by French
To make an extensive study of journalism ta its relationship to the political and international affairs of Germany, Roy L. French, director of the University of Southern California School of Journalism, has been awarded a grant by the Gustav Oberlaender trust. Wilbur K. Thomas, secretary of the foundation, announced Friday.
The fund which has been set aside will enable Professor French to travel in Germany next summer, visiting the principal cities of the country, and interviewing the publishers of the major newspapers of each. A provision has also been made for Mrs. French, a teacher of Germanic languages, to accompany him as an associate in the undertaking.
"Improve Relations”
To obtain approval of the project from the Goebbels’ ministry which maintains strict control over the newspaper industry in Germany, Professor French plans to work through the German and American embassies of the respective countries. The complete disinterestedness and impartiality of the survey was stressed in 'he original application to the members of the foundation board whose aim is “to develop cultural relations between the United States and German speaking countries.”
“The tour ls to obtain some information about newspapers ta Germany, material neither upholding nor condemning a political system.” This objective. Professor French oays, he will emphasize. If the necessary permission is received, the Frenchs will begin their tour ta Berlin, following the circle of cities from East Prussia to the south, thence westward and returning to ' Berlin the latter part of August-15 Grants Made About fifteen of these grants are made each year. In southern California Dr. Robert Millikan of the California Institute of Technology has been the only other educator to work In Germany under the foundation.
Professor French was appointed to the national council of research in journalism last month at the convention of the American Association of Schools and Departments of Journalism in Washington, D. C. At that time he made a personal application for the grant.
The convention delegates interviewed President Roosevelt regarding his press conferences and relationship with the American press.

Telegrams Cause Upheaval of Epics
By United Press.
Two telegrams—one misread apparently by accident — last night brought more than 600 California “Epics” tumbling from their chairs ta an uproar that forced temporary adjournment of a ‘‘peace meeting” called to q-iet a simmering left-wing uprising in Democratic party ranks.
The incident forced retirement of Dr. L. Raymond Holmes of San Francisco as chairman of the convention.
Subsequently the meeting, called to adopt a slate of “Epic” delegates to the Democratic national convention in Philadelphia next June, reconvened and adopted a comoromise resolution to “support an independent candidate pledged to production for use” on the first ballot at the national convention, and then swing their support to the president.
Misreading of the text of a tele* gram supposedly from Upton Sinclair. titular head of the “Epic* movement, occurred during a bitter debate on a majority resolution asking unqualified endorsement of the president, and a minority report urging that state’s delegates be p!edged unconditionally to "production for use” principles.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19—(UJ?)—President Roosevelt today braved New York’s worst storm of the winter to pay honor to another Roosevelt— “T. R.”—whose social and political reforms he pointed to as a “spirit of vital activity.”
Th? chief executive in dedicating the Theodore Roosevent Memorial building on the grounds of the American Museum of Natural History, fulfilled the primary objective of a trip that took him yesterday from a white house desk piled high with work. Standing on a platform in the lofty hall ol the memorial, on the walls of which were murals symbolizing the adventurous life of the late president, Mr. Roosevelt observed:
“We will remember how those whom he denounced with righteous wrath winced under the stigma of such flashing epithets as malefactors of great wealth,’ ‘the wealthy criminal class,’ and the ‘lunatic fringe.’
“He had a gift for the pungent phrase and boiled down his whole political philosophy into such a homely and popular maxim as ‘speak softly but carry a big stick’.”
On the platform as Mr. Rcosevelt spoke Were any number of Roosevelts. Alice Roosevelt Longworth
was present with her brother, young “Teddy.” Mrs. Roosevelt, wife of the president, and a niece of T. R., also was on hand, as well as James, son of the president.
The president’s entire speech was a eulogy of his distant kinsman. Recalling the vigorous reform movements of the latter, he remarked:
“With clearness of vision, of energy of unfaltering faith, he labored through his entire strenuous career to transform politics from a corrupt traffic to a public service.
“With a very passion for justice and equality before the law he sought with voice and pen, with every resource at his command to obtain for men everywhere their constitutional guarantees of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia, unlike the president, made a ringing political speech when his turn came to speak. Citing the political liberalism of T. R., he recalled recent sweeping supreme court decisions as he declared:
“He would not permit the senate to become a court of justice; he would not permit the court to transform itself into a legislative body. He knew what was judicial and he knew what was legislative.”

Results Depend on Senate
Chairman Nye Flays Critics Who Conceal Virtues Of Investigation
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—(ILB)— Embroiled in a fierce struggle with angry Democrats over charges that blackened the memory of Woodrow Wilson, the senate munitions committee* suspended temporarily ita two-year inquiry into the arms industry.
Word was sent to J. Pierpont Morgan, international banker, and two of his partners, George Whitney and Thomas W. Lamont, canceling their scheduled reappearance before the committee Thursday. Chairman Gerald P. Nye, Republican, North Dakota, said his group would meet Wednesday to make future plans.
Senate Holds Fate
The fate of the much-heralded inquiry lies with the senate. The committee still holds less than $400 of the $125,000 given it by the senate and thousands of dollars ta salaries and miscellaneous expenses remain unpaid. Meanwhile, Democrats, Infuriated by Nye’s charge that Wilson “falsified” before the senate foreign relations committee in 1919. are determined not to award the committee another penny. Attacks Smoke Screen
In a formal statement Nye hit back at critics of the investigation, charging them with attempting to build up a “smoke screen” to cover a general attack on the constructive work and remedial legislative proposals of the committee.
Nye asserted the committee had offered constructive proposals ta two bills, one to take excess profits cut of naval shipbuilding and one to prevent collusion on warship contracts, which have been pending before the senate naval affairs committee since last summer.
“Do you expect to get lt?” he was asked.
“I don’t know,” Nye replied. “There seems to be some sentiment against it.” •
If additional funds are denied the committee, one official said at least two courses he open to it to get its information before the public.
1. Make the documents available to newspapermen.
2. Have them read on the senate floor and thus make them a pare of the Congressional Record.
